When choosing your significant other, which one would you prioritize? A nice personality, or good looks?

Personally I prefer inner beauty over looks, but that's my opinion. After all, even if they were good-looking, it'd be pointless to be with them if you can't stand their personality!

What do you guys think? And explain why.

Many girls would say looks is more important then inner because they want a guy who looks really sexy and stuff instead of having a guy whose loyal and will always be there for her through hardship and pain. But everyone has their own opinion i would probley say a little of both is good.

i rather prefer a girl with good personality rather than good looks with not good personality

Depends on the maturity of the individuals, younger ppl have a tendency to seek out aesthetic characteristics. While a more intellectually developed individuals will pursue traits that are more compatiable to their desire. Inner beauty has many implications and they all differ from the point of view of different individuals.

I really like this thread. But i know a lot of the people in here are gonna Bs it all the way...

I think literally people expectations are soO high that they must have that prefect guy or girl. Or they will settle for the best loOkin one at most. Time and time again i hear stories i here from guy friends and girls alike, sayin they made the worst choice by rating on looks alone...

Personallity's and time changes all the time... and it is so unpredictable ... people would love to say its just all about personality. But i believe that is Bs all the way. Lustin over sumone else is kinda expected when we grow older.

And we need a balance of loOks as well as personality...

I would lo0k for both .Physical attraction is impt at first but as the relationship develop , the inner beauty becomes more important

I believe everyone has a bare minimum level of "looks" before they will even look at personality. For example, if I give you a 400lb man/woman, will you be willing to date them just to check out their personality? Once you have the minimum 'looks', I think personality should dominate... for example, I have 3 choices of girls with looks ranking 7, 8, and 9. If the girl with the 7 in looks has a 9 in personality, I would pick her over the girl who has a '9' in looks and a 6 in personality.

In the long run, looks won't matter... we're all gonna turn ugly when we're old...

looks attract at first but personality is what counts for the long run

i agree . in a guy i go for inner beauty.

To be should be a balance in between. Look is important and personality is important too. I guess no one is perfect in this world and the best thing he/her is your soul mate, you 2 can go really well ..

i agree wen we first c a guy/girl we are attracted to their looks first because we duno wat their personality is like..buh as time develops..inner beauty is more important.

nowunz wants a guy [or girl] thats yells at them all the time, abuses or watever..and the only good thing about them is because they're HOT..that just duznt wrk

I agree that must people judge a book by its cover, but I still think inner beauty rules.

Firstly let's be honest, looks are important. i definitely wan a girl i feel very happy simply just by looking at her (nid not be very pretty). As for character, i think no guys would wan a girl tat he don't feel comfortable with.

obviously people are attracted to the opposite sex from the outer appearance at first, and that's perfectly normal,

if you're looking for a short term relationship, then go for the outer appearance because you're basically just showing off, so might as well show off a hot bf/gf.

if you're looking for a long term relationship, then go for the inner appearance because you might end up spending the rest of your live with this person.

I'd say majority of guys goes for looks, im sry if im being prejudice = /

both is important. the first thing you notice is look. and than you look at the inner.......

Looks are the first impression, though if I would get to know her better and really like her it doesn't matter for me. Though I only look at the smile of a girl, not the complete face and/or body.
IMHO a smile says many things of a person, if she's social, happy, talkative.

Inner beauty then the looks

People who say Inner Beauty then looks are lying.

Cause at the start there has to be a physical attraction at the beginning. And then the inner beauty will determine wether you want to spend more time with them or not!!!

Well thats my view!!!

looks first, then inner beauty =)
yea i know, i am shallow like that lol

You're supposed to have a little bit of both otherwise you will probably regret it later.

From what I learned in class, people are attracted by people whom they think are more or less equally attractive as they are. Otherwise they'll either be too intimidated or not be interested.

yeah, its always looks first then comes inner beauty. no point looking for inner beauty in someone u dont like the look of. plus, the looks is the very first factor u get to see anyways.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". Much as one can say that they prefer inner beauty over surface/outside beauty, the physical appearance still has to be at an acceptable level first. True, beauty fades over time, but when you first start a relationship, you still have to be able to look at the person, and be comfortable with that before you can progress. Personally, in the end, inner beauty is more important, but I'd have to say that I'm prolly like a lot of the guys, the girl would have to look "okay" first.

Yeah i agree inner beauty shows more sometimes. For example, u might not be interest in a person because they are not attractive looking. But then u see the way they act, and it will change how u look at them, and make them attractive. Like if someones really kind and nice to everyone, or someone that is really smart, these attributes could make u become attract to someone. I think thats the way it is for me. Sure looks matter somewhat, but pales in comparison to a person's character.

But i think for guys, looks are really much more important to them. As i see a lot of beautiful girls going out with ugly guy then handsome guys going out with ugly girls.

INNER LOOKS

well, i would think that, a educated guy will say that they will only look inner beauty.....but then .... everyone knows that, anyone...in fact everyone....will definately looks at outer beauty first....
no matter how....it is the inner beauty that is important!

I so agree wid you, I mean yup everyone wants someone thats gonna be decent in their eyes, and after the decentness kicks in then they will explore the personality. Also you have to think ask if you was to introduce her to your family n fwends will you feel ashamed? I think that's a big point as well.

Also what is inner beauti? everyones inner beauti might be different right? as well as outer beauti.

I agree that everyone has a bare minimum level of looks, but I think that the inner beauty is eventually more important than the looks.............

I get attracted by good or cute looking guys but the only way to like them is to get to know them better and their personality. So, I would say inner beauty but looks count too because I wouldn't want to look at a uggleee guy everday. blush

Hm... people do judge by the appearence so saying that it won't matter it's not really true.. but I also think that beauty would fade by time so if you are to get along all your life. You'd have to learn to love your personalities too.

Which one is more important? Looks or Personality... I seriously think personality is more important.. b/c personality tells you something about the person.. looks doesn't really.. to me as long as that person is somewhat decent that's all that really matters...

i donno,im pretty shallow i guess but looks attracts me to the person in the first place, but if they have a really bad personality then i wouldn't lyk them either. i wouldn't be wit sum1 really nice, but really ugly either. im not talking bout friends,im talkin bout lover.

The only reason why people say that is either they can't get any better or they are telling it to their ugly partner..thats just reality.

hm...looks i guess, but i dont think looks alone will last in marriage, because when you get old...
so...ill take good but not great looks and good personality =)

I would have to say personality..
looks are nothing when that person has a bad personality.. u have to develop a relationship with that person... how can u if u can't stand that persons personality...

But then peronaily with a side of good looks is always a plus ontop of the personality but its perk not a requirement

Has anyone mentioned about the size of the guy's wallet?

alot of guys look for the out look first then inside..but i think some people they look for the inner beauty first because they can only find a girl from their friends,so he usually spend time to look for the inner side.If you are a popular or open-mind person,,of course you know alot of ppl,that time for sure you need something to attract you and then you want to spend time to look her inner beauty.So the result is always out look ,then inside.

Well, I cannot put my view on behalf of Males.. but i personally think that beauty or handsomeness is actually individual's perception.... Some people may say that guy's ugly... but to some, that so called guy might be very handsome.... Look does matter in life... But one must also remember, if you have the choice to choose, people also has the opportunity to reject you.... So, Life's just actually a play that repeats itself again and again.... It's just being played by different person on the stage of life....

Looks is what attracts you to someone first while inner beauty is what maintains your feelings for someone. I think both are important.

first looks then inner beauty if not good personality then the person nothing to have

To me I look for a girl with both looks and personality because both of them are important.

before a guy see the inner beauty of a girl, doesn't see need to attract him by her look first?

Well I gotta say that initially its looks but over time its personality, I mean looks don't last forever.

Firstly it will be the looks to atrract me and then the only to the personalities.

Look first and if she looks cute then wanna know her better and knowing more about the personalities

i would say.... lil bite of both but inner beauty of course.... DURRR

Theres a huge variety of personality, some may prefer biker chicks personality, some may prefer the quiet type, some may prefer the flirty type, the list goes on.

But as for me I prefer a person with a personality that fits me, over looks. I am still looking for a person with a little bit of both.

So personality has its variances.

<~~~~ no idea what I typed

i think most guyz prefer both, that would be perfect..but they think inner beauty is more important than look......

for me nothing matters more than personality. i don't go for looks. i mean looks are temporary but personality is something that won't change and would stay with you forever.

Inner looks Is most important... the guy has have a good personality and good behavior. He is giving the example. I dont like handsome guys who threat girls like sh*t. Its a waste.
